This can create a problem if you have too many programs open in the taskbar. If you have it open all the time, then rather than having it sit in the taskbar, you may wish to minimize Outlook to the system tray or notification area.

  1. To minimize Outlook to the system tray, right-click on the system tray icon of Outlook.
